The Daughters of Penelope Pool was built in 1983 and enclosed in 1985 by William Chirgotis of blessed memory. The pool is heated and available for use by the children and visitors to the Academy throughout the year. All the children learn how to swim. Many of the high school and college age youngsters have obtained their lifeguard certification. Swimming is one of the most important and healthful recreational activities for the children. They love it. There are locker and shower rooms built by the Daughters of Penelope in the early 1990’s. Local community organizations including the American Red Cross use the facility for training classes. 

The Pan-Arcadian Gym at the Academy is central to the year-round recreational needs of the children and is a very versatile building. It is used as a basketball court and houses an exercise/weight room. Each child is taught how to ride a bicycle, if they do not know, and receive one at the first Christmas. The gym is also available as an auditorium for many events at the Academy. The annual Christmas Pageant, Fashion Show, Walk-a-thon and Vasilopita celebrations are all held in the Gym. The facility is capable of holding 240 people. The Athletic Field, created by the Philoptochos Sisterhood of Saint Basil, is located on the Southern part of the campus. The children take advantage of it especially in warmer weather with various sports. It is also made available to the Haldane School District for their lacrosse and soccer teams. Thus Saint Basil is seen as a viable part of the local community. Saint Basil Academy has hosted Orthodoxy Youth Day’s events for local parishes. Youth from local Churches throughout Southern Connecticut, Upper New York and Westchester County participated in many sports and recreational activities. The student center has the newest game platforms, large screen television and many arcades. There are also many nature trails in the beautiful wooded campus and two charming waterfalls for the children to enjoy.
